Review of Waitrose

08 May 07, 12:01

Sneaky Organic 3*

Waitrose is one of the higher class, if not the highest class kind of supermarket - it's way above the likes of Tesco and doesn't come close to Spar or Iceland.

That said, their prices are actually not that much more expensive and in actual fact, some are cheaper than other places. The ice cream I usually buy (Hagen-Daaz Strawberry Cheesecake) is cheaper at Waitrose than the local independant store near my flat.

The Bloomsbury store is within the Brunswick Centre, which is a great concrete monstrosity, but that is another story.

The store itself tends to get busy around 5-7pm each day so avoid those times. Otherwise, it's usually quick to check out. They have multiple checkouts and although the small item checkouts by both doors appear faster, it is more often than not faster to go to the normal checkouts.

Also be on the watch out for organic products. Waitrose sneak them in everywhere and the labels tend to be very similar to the cheaper non-organic varients...so watch out.

Review of Tesco Express

Very slow 1*

Visited this 24hr store late on Sunday evening and it took ages to get served with only a single guy on the checkouts. I only wanted to buy milk as well.
